Chapter 141: Camouflage

Early awakening pill, is the pill that could help the cultivators below 'Energy condensation realm' to awaken an additional skill from their race. 

It is a very valuable pill that is almost impossible to find; however, with the help of the system, Henrick was able to get one after completing the daily missions.

'I wonder, from which race will I awaken an additional skill,'

Henrick was excited as he watched the small pill in his hand.

Since he is a half-human and half ancient fire demon, he could awaken an additional skill from any one of the race. So, he was curious as to what type of skill he would awaken and from which race it would belong.

'Let's hope for the best,'

'Gulp'

Soon, he tossed the 'Early awakening pill into his mouth and closed his eyes.

Just as the pill entered into his mouth, it melted and turned into pure energy that belongs to no element. That energy rushed towards his head and entered his mind sea before spreading all over it.

....

Inside the beast mountain,

While Henrick was using the 'Early awakening pill' to awaken a new skill, the baby fire monkey was in danger.

'Die'

The curator rushed towards it with the huge demonic sword in his hand.

He didn't want to waste his time talking to a beast that only had half intelligence.

'Swoosh'

'Slash'

'Thud'

"You dared to kill my benefactor? In your dreams,"

Just when the huge sword was about to land on the baby fire monkey, a silhouette appeared in the middle and slashed the demonic cultivator into two before scoffing at it for attempting to kill the baby fire monkey.

'Looks like I need to wait until it opens its eyes. I hope everything will go according to the plan and my beast mountain will rise to the peak. Then I will show those fools from the sect,'

The silhouette silently thought in his head while looking at the baby fire monkey.

The silhouette was none other than the master of the beast mountain, the old man with the white beard, Fionk.

For some reason, there was a gentle look on his face which was never before shown in front of his disciples or grand disciples.

'How did a demonic cultivator enter my beast mountain?' 

Fionk looked at the dead body of the curator and thought in his head.

With just a simple slash, the demonic cultivator died; however, the problem was how did he enter the beast mountain.

'No. How did he gain access into the outer sect in the first place?'

To enter the beast mountain, there was only one entrance which was inside the beast mountain. So, the demonic cultivator could have only entered through the outer sect.

'Damn it. Looks like some of the higher management of the outer sect must have planned something,' the old man shook his head as he could guess that some elder or grand elder must have helped the demonic cultivator to enter their outer sect and through it, he entered the beast mountain.

'I need to keep an eye on all the outer sect disciples who will be entering from the day after tomorrow,' The old man finally decided to pay attention to those who entered his beast mountain because he didn't want demonic cultivators to enter his beast mountain.

'Anyway, I will wait until the baby fire monkey opens its eyes,'

Without disturbing the baby fire monkey, the old man went to the side and sat while waiting for the baby fire monkey to open its eyes.

...…

Back in Henrick's cultivation abode,

Henrick's body emitted a dark red coloured glow as though he was enlightening about something. The energy which belongs to no element completely disappeared from his mind sea.

'Ding,

Congrats to the master, for awakening a new skill from the 'Ancient fire demon' race. Please check.

'Woah'

Henrick opened his eyes with the system notification sound in his head and was excited that he had awakened a skill from the 'Ancient fire demon' race.

'System, sh...'

'Ding,

Congrats to the master, for awakening a new skill from the 'Human' race. Please check.

Before he could ask the system to show his new skill, he got another system notification that gave him a pleasant surprise.

"Double skill?"

Henrick didn't expect that he would awaken two skills each one from the two races.

'Looks like this is the benefit of having two races,' Henrick joked with himself as he ordered the system, "System, show my skills section."

He only asked for the skills section and not the entire interface.

'Ding,

Skills:-

Ancient fire demon:- Ancient fire sure, Fire demon stare, Fire demon claw.

Human:- Endurance, camouflage.

Soon, a complete list of his skills appeared in front of him on a holographic screen.

Henrick controlled his excitement and focused on the two new skills one after another.

'Ding,

Skill name:- Fire demon claw

Effect:- Can cleave through anything as long as the opponent's cultivation be within one higher realm than the user.

Additional effect:- A 50 percent chance of burning effect, which makes all the skills of the opponent useless for a minute or so, depending on the strength of the opponent.

Description:-  The nails of the user grow to some extent depending on the strength of the user. The more pure internal fire energy is used, the stronger the nails would be.

Note:- Can be used on either hands or both hands at the same time.

First, he read the information on the 'Fire demon claw' skill which was within his expectations. So, he didn't feel much and he moved to check his next skill.

'Ding,

Skill Name:- camouflage (Passive)

Effect:- Can hide the cultivation of the user from others and it will be shown what the user wants others to see.

Description:- A passive skill, very common to humans that helped humans to survive in all conditions.

Note:- 1) Currently, the original cultivation will be shown to others. If the master wants to change, he can just think in his mind and it will be done.

2) Can only hide the cultivation from the eyes of the cultivator below the master realm; others could see the original cultivation.

"Excellent. That's what I need," Henrick was excited after reading the complete information of the skill 'Camouflage'. Because it was what he wanted right now.

With the help of the system and completing the missions, he was sure that he could increase his cultivation at an incredible speed; however, it would raise suspicions in others' eyes.

'System, how can I upgrade my skills?'

Currently, the camouflage would not help him in any way; however, if he was able to find a method to upgrade it and unlock more effects and increase the level of effects, then he would not have to worry about cultivating at a lighting speed.

There were two things he wanted from the skill 'camouflage'.

One, it was to increase the current effect. So that he could hide his cultivation even from his master.

Second, he wants to hide his bloodline with this skill. So that he could not worry and stress his master about it.

'System, is there any way I can increase the level of my skills?'
